How low can Danish 10-year yields go?
Yields could test their 2022 lows if economic fears intensify. The spread to German bunds may narrow as Denmark’s safe-haven status attracts capital, but yields are still sensitive to global rate moves.
Should bond investors overweight Danish government bonds?
In the short term, Danish bonds offer a relative value play given their scarcity and safe-haven bid. However, the peg to the euro means that significant divergence from German yields is limited unless the krone comes under speculative pressure.
